DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF LIQUID MIXTURES Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: oil-producing industry.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with separation of three-phase liquid mixtures and may be used for separation of products of boreholes. The device consists of a horizontal feeding tube with an inlet opening on its upper end, a slant tube with the its shut lower end, a system of gas outlet with an outlet aperture for the gas discharge, a system of a light liquid outlet with an outlet aperture for the liquid discharge and a system of a heavy liquid outlet with an outlet aperture for the heavy liquid discharge. The diameter of the feeding tube is chosen so, that in process of operation the speeds of the liquids remain below a fixed level. The ratio of the length of the feeding tube to its diameter exceeds 10, and the slope of the slant tube is chosen so, that in process of operation a multilayer stream should be maintained in the slant tube. The technical consists in a raise of productivity of the device operation.

EFFECT: the invention ensures a raise of productivity of the device operation.
